Observation details
Looking up through the canopy of trees, I spotted two juvenile Golden Eagles interacting with one another above and in the sky not too far overhead. I had heard of some things about issues for the nesting pair of Golden Eagles there, so thought I should mention this sighting to Trevor Herbert of Japser Ridge. He was very thrilled to hear of our observations and wrote the following back to me: “Hi Malia,That's terrific news! We only knew the status of 1 juvenile for sure. There was lots of drama this season - the nest collapsed several weeks before the eaglets would have normally fledged. We managed to locate them on the ground initially and confirmed the parents were feeding them. One was less developed, and we were concerned that it wouldn't make it, so your confirmation is super helpful. I did get a video of one juvenile lately but haven't seen both together yet. Thanks! Trevor”
